Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the Community Rehabilitation Company in Wales has met its obligations under the terms of the Enhanced Voluntary Redundancy scheme.

All CRCs are required by their contracts to make sure they have sufficient appropriately-qualified staff to deliver contractual services.

The Community Rehabilitation Company (CRC) in Wales has given assurance that it has met its obligations under the terms of the Enhanced Voluntary Redundancy scheme, which was used between October 2015 and July 2016. A separate and distinct Voluntary Severance Scheme has since been offered by employee agreement, allowing the CRC to offer terms to a greater number of staff.
